This is my 59 Mercedes 180.   A rust free Californian car which was undergoing a partial renovation when I bought it.

The car is amazingly rust free. and has no sign of any accidents. body filler or panel replacement. It is remarkable underneath. as are the door cavities which are ready to be waxed prior the the panels being replaced.
The lower body trim and door panels are with the car. as are the original service and instruction books. as well as some other literature.

The engine was rebuilt recently in the US as part of the renovation. and it runs really nicely. We have covered a few miles in it . the longest journey being around 140 miles. with no temperature or other issues to report. It  is a pleasure to drive and is pretty quick as well. nbsp; isn't embarrassed by modern road conditions
and is a very useable classic. for daily or occasional use alike.

All the duties are paid. and the Nova certificate is present.
The car is currently un registered. but this may change if I get the opportunity in the next few days.

The car was in pretty much daily use over in the US. and is on current plates licensed until next August - it doesn't really say much. other than it wasn't pulled out of a field and hastily cleaned up. The steering and other components are in good order. lights. brakes etc etc .

The car is a great base for further renovation. daily use or to pull apart and totally restore form scratch- Personally I think it makes an excellent daily car with a presence and a degree of style that is sadly long gone. It is also built like a battleship. so should survive the worst a cross town commute can throw at it !  Lets not forget it is tax and mot exempt - classic insurance is very cheap so this is classic motoring at a bargain basement level.

It needs a headlining. the door panels re fitting and enjoying - the motor. brakes. tyres and exhaust are all new so its simply a case of putting fuel in it (unleaded)

The car is in Guildford.
